Verdict
Wilhana is looking to make amends having been turned over at odds-on here last time and Abbotsfield was tailed off at Thirsk on his latest start though the soft ground looks a legitimate excuse. Lookbeforeyouleap failed to see out 1m4f at Pontefract last month but had finished closer at this track earlier and there should be more to come from Meet Marhaba on her first start since August. Bu this won't take much winning and the Godolphin filly HISTORY BOOK may well be good enough to make a winning start. Charlie Appleby's charge gets the nod.
